I'd say I'm a lover not a fighter, I'd never stare nobody down
Til one night my girl I could not find her, she never made it back from town
I found my Shannon cryin in the woods, a wicked man he held her down
I stuck him deep an I buried him good, not deep enough to fool the hounds
We took shelter in a chapel neath the blood moon sky,
I bought a gun an made Shannon my wife
We jumped in a box car to old mexico
Where I aint worth a penny on my bounty back home
No I ain't worth a penny on my bounty back home
That train stopped in Tijuana, we built a shack beneath the sun
I make my Shannon margaritas, we watch our childre laugh and runrunrun
Sometimes I miss my daddy, sometimes I miss my mom
I think they'd be real proud of me, to know the man that Iv become
Train train roll on Train train roll on Train train roll on Rollon
Shannon why'd you run with me? She said
What was I supposed to do boy just watch you leave
You'd a broken my heart, you'd a haunted my dreams
Your love boy is all I need, your love boys all I'll ever need
Where we ain't worth a penny on our bounty back home
No we ain't worth a penny on our bounty back home
